LA LA Land

I treated myself to a movie yesterday after I dropped number 2 son off at the airport. The house is always way too quiet after the kids and their friends have been here and a movie is my favorite way to bridge the emptiness. I already knew which flick was calling to me…

I knew that the title was a reference for the city’s initials LA but a little digging around turned up some other interesting notes. La La Land also refers to the the culture of the movie industry that dominates the City of Angels. Whether it’s the instability of the deals or the magical images of the beautiful people, La La Land is an appropriate moniker!

There is also the musical aspect of the film that the “la la” definitely describes! The opening scene of one of LA’s frequent experiences – traffic jam – quickly morphs into a happy go lucky colorful musical number. Pure joy!

Old Hollywood glamour meets current relationship trials and tribulations – I loved it…

Take my advice and take a break from reality with this delightful film!
